Vanessa Redgrave
From The Year of Magical Thinking.
Actress Vanessa Redgrave explains why, despite the character name in the program, she’s not specifically playing “Joan Didion” in Broadway’s The Year Of Magical Thinking; explores the transformation of Wallace Shawn’s The Fever from stage monologue to multi-character film; considers the experience of working with the many members of her acclaimed multi-generational family of actors and directors; discusses why she has tackled Shakespeare’s Antony And Cleopatra, as both actor and director in five different productions; declares that theatre should really performed outdoors in the blazing sun; and recalls childhood memories of her earliest experiences in the theatre — as well as idyllic moments in her youth gathered with her parents and siblings around a piano singing Broadway show tunes.
